570,751 individual vital statistics records
When we heard of the upcoming ‘How
Many Beans In the Jar’ contest with a crisp new one dollar bill as the
prize, Cliff had a great idea how we could win.
We searched the boxes in the cellar for a bottle of the same size and then
filled it with beans from the pail in the back pantry. Next came the tedious
task of counting the beans.
It is not necessary to count the individual records in the Search Bin at
the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick website. I’ll tell you the answer.
There are 570,751 individual vital statistics records waiting for
you to access at the click of the mouse. The prize is the instant
names of persons found in:
* Late Registration of Births 1810 -1906
* Index to Late Registration of Births: County Series
1869 - 1901
* Index to County Birth Registers 1801 - 1899

* Index to Kent, Northumberland, Restigouche & Victoria
County Death Registers

The Index to the Provincial Registrations of Births includes 20,000
digitized images of the 1900-1903 original birth records with more to
be added.
By the way, there are another 500,000 records in other databases on
the PANB site including Cemeteries, Revolutionary Soldiers records, the
Irish Famine Migration and more.
I suggest you pay a visit to the Provincial Archives of New Brunswick website

by being able to access the 570,751 vital statistics records each time the

Chambers - Lynch: In 1847, John and Anastasia (Lynch) Chambers were on
a ship, possibly the 'Mary' on their way to Boston to join relatives, when
due to an outbreak of Cholera, the ship was turned away and they came to
Saint John, New Brunswick. They stayed here for a short time before making
their way to Boston. Can anyone provide me with information on them during
their time in New Brunswick.
